....which is, of course , way too heavy for a SPORTS car.
Anything over 1100 kilo's is at the most, a GT.
And yes, I find it includes most of nowadays so calles sports cars.
A lotus Exige, THAT is a sports car. My '68 Bertone is a sports car.
A TVR is a sports car.
Any new ferrari, save for the REALLY exotic, is a GT.

I saw a Lotus (Toyota 1.8 powered) : 860 kg, 35 000 euros. Not cheap but quite affordable for a true sportscar.

The Lotus is indeed a real sportscar, but so is a Ferrari 360. And a 360 is far more sportscar than a Giulia Sprint GT.

 , maybe the pricepoint will make up for this.

I'm not actually sure that AR is billing the 8C as anything BUT a GT save for the name, but that's all part of the current retro thing (oxymoron?) like the 159. 1500 kg would be a very respectable weight for something like this, I think. After all it has a big V8 under the bonnet unlike the K-series or Toyota mill in the Lotus. 1500 kg and 400+ bhp? Yes please. It's about the same weight as the F430 and Murcielago.
When I first saw the car I thought it was absolutely gorgeous but I'm cooling a bit. I think I'll have to see it in the carbon and I'm sure I'll be blown away.  Gotta loose those wheels though. |
